SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the 

‘‘Additional Information’’ section for 

information on how to comment on the 

ANPRM and how the FAA will handle 

comments received. The ‘‘Additional 

Information’’ section also contains 

related information about the docket 

and the handling of proprietary or 

confidential business information. In 

addition, there is information on 

obtaining copies of related rulemaking 

documents. 

Background 

On March 17, 2014, the FAA issued 

Notice No. 14–02, entitled ‘‘Drug and 

Alcohol Testing of Certain Maintenance 

Provider Employees Located Outside of 

the United States’’ (79 FR 14621). 

Comments to that document were to be 

received on or before May 16, 2014. By 

letter dated March 26, 2014, A4A 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

24632 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 84 / Thursday, May 1, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

requested that the FAA extend the 

comment period for Notice No. 14–02 

for 120 days. By letters dated April 8, 

2014 and April 9, 2014, respectively, 

IATA and Lufthansa also requested a 

120-day extension of the comment 

period. The petitioners requested the 

extension to secure additional time for 

commenters to assess the impact of the 

ANPRM and prepare comments. 

While the FAA concurs with the 

petitioners’ requests for an extension of 

the comment period, it does not support 

a 120-day extension. The FAA finds that 

providing an additional 60 days is 

sufficient for these petitioners and other 

commenters to analyze the ANPRM and 

provide meaningful comments. 

Absent unusual circumstances, the 

FAA does not anticipate any further 

extension of the comment period for 

this rulemaking. 

Extension of Comment Period 

In accordance with § 11.47(c) of title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations, the 

FAA has reviewed the petitions made 

by A4A, IATA, and Lufthansa for 

extension of the comment period to 

Notice No. 14–02. These petitioners 

have shown a substantive interest in the 

ANPRM and good cause for the 

extension. The FAA has determined that 

extension of the comment period is 

consistent with the public interest, and 

that good cause exists for taking this 

action. 

Accordingly, the comment period for 

Notice No. 14–02 is extended until July 

17, 2014. 

Additional Information 

A. Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

ANPRM, explain the reason for any 

recommendations, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should send only one copy 

of written comments, or if comments are 

filed electronically, commenters should 

submit only one time. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this ANPRM. Before acting on this 

ANPRM, the FAA will consider all 

comments it receives on or before the 

extended closing date for comments. 

The FAA will consider comments filed 

after the comment period has closed if 

it is possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. 

Proprietary or Confidential Business 

Information: Do not file proprietary or 

confidential business information in the 

docket. Such information must be sent 

or delivered directly to the person 

identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

document and marked as proprietary or 

confidential. If submitting information 

on a disk or CD ROM, mark the outside 

of the disk or CD ROM, and identify 

electronically within the disk or CD 

ROM the specific information that is 

proprietary or confidential. 

Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), if the FAA is 

aware of proprietary information filed 

with a comment, the agency does not 

place it in the docket. It is held in a 

separate file to which the public does 

not have access, and the FAA places a 

note in the docket that it has received 

it. If the FAA receives a request to 

examine or copy this information, it 

treats it as any other request under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). The FAA processes such a request 

under Department of Transportation 

procedures found in 49 CFR part 7.

[Docket No.: DOT–OST–2014–0061] 

Essential Air Service Proposed 

Enforcement Policy 

AGENCY: Office of Aviation Analysis 

(X50), Department of Transportation 

(DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Enforcement 

Policy. 

SUMMARY: This proposed notice of 

enforcement policy announces how the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

intends, going forward, to enforce 

compliance with the requirements of the 

Department of Transportation and 

Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 

2000, which prohibits the Department 

from subsidizing Essential Air Service 

(EAS) to communities located within 

the 48 contiguous States receiving per 

passenger subsidy amounts exceeding 

$200, unless the communities are 

located more than 210 miles from the 

nearest large or medium hub airport. As 

proposed, all communities receiving 

subsidies under the EAS Program would 

have until September 30, 2015, based on 

data from October 1, 2014, through 

September 30, 2015, to ensure 

compliance with the $200 subsidy cap 

or face termination of subsidy 

eligibility. After September 30, 2015, the 

Department would continue 

enforcement of the $200 subsidy cap on 

an annual basis based on data compiled 

at the end of every fiscal year. 

Consistent with established procedures, 

DOT will issue each potentially 

impacted community a show cause 

order regarding termination of eligibility 

and provide each such community with 

a fair and reasonable opportunity to 

demonstrate compliance with the $200 

subsidy cap prior to a final decision by 

DOT. In addition, any community that 

is deemed ineligible under the $200 

subsidy cap provision may petition the 

Secretary for a waiver. After receiving a 

community’s petition for a waiver, the 

Secretary may waive the subsidy cap for 

a limited period of time, on a case-bycase basis, and subject to availability of 

funds. To provide the Department with 

sufficient time to evaluate the FY 2015 

data for potentially affected 

communities, DOT does not intend to 

begin the Show Cause Order process 

until January 2016. 

DATES: Send comments on or before 

June 30, 2014. Late-filed comments will 

be considered to the extent practicable. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments identified
